ProFTPD Problems

[ChristopherDS]

Hallo,

I have got a problem with the psa-proftpd service.
Sometimes it works great, sometimes it doesn't...

In the active mode filezilla isn't able to up- or download a file.
I think this could be because of NAT configuration and has nothing todo with the server.
But it did work fine for years and I did not change the NAT configuration.
Filezilla cancels the up- or download action after every second and tries it again on another port.

In the passive mode the up- and download works fine aslong the file is not bigger then 150kb.
Above this file size the download speed goes to 99B/s for a couple of seconds. After that Filezilla cancels it.

The SFTP connection (active & passive) is not working.
I did the configuration like edit the /etc/proftpd.conf or changing the ftp account, that the ftp user is able to access ssh.
This is the error message:
Network error: Connection refused

The port 22 is open for incoming connections.

FTP via TLS/SSL is working sometimes.
Actually I don't know why it is just working sometimes. On one computer it works and on the other one it doesn't.

I would show you the proftpd log. But I could not find it.


Now my general question.
Is it possible to re-install proftpd?
I think there are so many problems, that there was a generall install or update problem with proftpd.

The server (debian 7) is running now for nearly one year, and is up to date.

Thanks for any help.
Best Regards,
Christopher Smith

Try to download package http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA12...._1.3.5-debian7.0.build1200140529.18_amd64.deb and reinstall it with dpkg. Note, it is for x64 platform.

 

[ChristopherDS]

Is the link broken?
I just get the "Error 404" when I try to download.

 

[IgorG]

All works fine for me. Check that autoinstall.plesk.com hostname is resolvable from your server.

 

[ChristopherDS]

well I can ping this address. 93.184.221.133
Is this the same address you have?

 

[ChristopherDS]

ahh...
http://autoinstall.plesk.com/PSA_12..._1.3.5-debian7.0.build1200140529.18_amd64.deb
This one worked.
Is that the correct one?

 

[IgorG]

Yes if you have Debian7 x64

 

[ChristopherDS]

Yes I have got x64 and debian 7.
Thanks a lot.

Is there anything else to know or can I just reinstall it?
Do I have to use dpkg or can I use apt-get?

 

[IgorG]

Do I have to use dpkg or can I use apt-get?

It's up to you.

Ok... I installed the deb...
The passive mode works fine now.

In the active mode I can just upload data. If I try to download something each file is empty.
Or I can't even connect.
Error Message:
425 Unable to build data connection: Keine Route zum Zielrechner (No route to destination computer)
The Original message is in german.

SFTP is still not working.
And FTPS with TLS/SSL is still just working on some computers, and there it just works if I disable firewall.
